Shangri-la Hotels & Resorts

Shangri-La is known for offering some the largest rooms available in many destinations.  There is a full range of accommodation options, ranging from deluxe rooms, to luxurious suites. Each Shangri-La Hotel has its own individual touch, with art and design representing the country the hotel is in. At the same time, guests will see familiar Shangri-La touches, which run throughout all its hotels.  Many of the hotels invest in supporting local artists and display their work throughout.

Shangri-La guests can choose from a range of vibrant cultural experiences, recreational and rejuvenation activities amidst the natural splendour of a tranquil, tropical retreat, or a bustling city centre hotel. From helping a turtle ranger in Oman, visiting an Orang Utan Sanctuary in Borneo, cycling in the Maldives, to cooking lessons in Malaysia and dinner cruises on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Many hotels feature award winning spas, including the group’s own spa brand, CHI.

Shangri-La Hotels offers golfing experiences in some of the most beautiful destinations around the world.  In Borneo there is an 18-hole championship golf course. Bordered by the Tambalang and Mengkabong rivers, guests can tee-off with stunning views of MountKinabalu in the backdrop. Ensconced within the 400 acres of Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort, Kota Kinabalu, the course was designed to highlight Sabah’s natural beauty. Shangri-La has also opened the first golf course in the Maldives, at the Shangri-La Villingili Resort & Spa.

Shangri-La offers a number of award winning restaurants around the world, many of which are recognised by the Michelin Guide, including hotels in Hong Kong and Paris. There are also unique, private dining experiences at many of the resorts.

Created especially for Shangri-La’s most valued guests, Golden Circle is more than a frequent guest programme. Golden Circle Award Points can then be redeemed for hotel stays, dining or spa experiences at any Shangri-La hotels and may also converted points into airline miles.
